Britain's double Olympic bronze medallist goes one better to win silver at the
World Gymnastics championships in Antwerp.

Great Britain's Max Whitlock has won silver in the pommel horse final at the World Gymnastics championships in Antwerp.

The 20-year-old double Olympic bronze medallist completed the most difficult pommel horse routine in the world - with a 7.2 difficulty tariff - to score 15.633 and go one better than his London 2012 third place to finish behind Japan's Kohei Kameyama who won gold with 15.833.

Whitlock tied for second place with Mexico's Daniel Corral Barron, while there was also a tie for fourth place with Italy's Alberto Busnari and China's Hongtao Zhang both finishing with 15.600 in a hotly-contested final.

Britain's reigning European pommel horse champion Dan Keatings and Olympic champion Krisztian Berki were not in the final after both gymnasts fell from the apparatus during qualification.

However, it was still a very competitive field and Whitlock, who finished fourth in Thursday's all-around final, added world silver to his Olympic team and pommel horse bronze, European team and floor gold and pommel bronze medals.
